Turns out MGM has released the film, just not in the way anyone would've hoped. There's listing's on Amazon.com for 200 Motels in standard and HD formats on their Prime/Instant video service, licenced by MGM. (I also checked the MGM site and the IMDb page and both link to Amazon.com.)

I do not either, but I doubt it ... there is not enough appreciation and 200 Motels is not on the TRUST's lists to get around and appreciated, even to simply have the music released on a CD. I sincerely can not see why MGM would do this, and only collect $5 dollars monthly from Amazon on it. It's not worth the time and hassle, and all it will do is see them make yet another copy of the film, and that quality keeps getting older and more and more perishable every year ... and it will not ever get cleaned up or remastered and some Martin doesn't care for FZ or this film!

I'm just getting tired of all these people demanding the ROXY stuff, when that is the biggest representative of everything that Frank despised in the business ... demanding fans, that take your life away, and they only listen to one album ... either this one of Stairway to Heaven!

I have a really skipping screen recording of that version, if anyone out there has a decent rip of the MGM HD broadcast sourced from this same print (Amazon/Netflix), drop me message! It's highly important, x3

I just bought it and I can confirm it's the new 35mm print cleaned up and matted to 1.78:1 with various framing changes (apart from the end credits which are surprisingly framed in it's original 1.66:1), and reverberated mono audio to give it a stereo effect in places. Seems like a very nice restoration. Let's hope this leads to a DVD or Blu-ray one day!
